we adapted our screening technology and tactics to counter that. and we learned that a single vulnerability in any part of the aviation system can make everyone connected to it vulnerable. since we don't control security at foreign airports, we have to work even more closely with international partners to raise the overall security of the system. we did that. shortly after the christmas day plot, i launched a worldwide initiative to make these needed changes in close collaboration with our strongest allies. i am proud to say that i october of 2010, this effort led to 190 countries signing onto an historic agreement to improve aviation security, standards, and technology and information sharing. i have had the chance to visit many of those countries over the past 4.5 years. 40 in all across six continents however, our work did not end there. following the 20 10 air cargo threat which involved bombs hidden inside printer cartridges departing on international planes to the united states, we launched a second initiative to work with international partn

technological skills, most of us won't understand that this is a chance to find a way to use them to do good, especially in these difficult situations like syria where we don't have boots on the ground, we will not send in troops for the cultural objects. these works of art are like little kids. they need to be taken care of, and that in my opinion is our responsibility as custodians and guardians as happened for why they are here today. perhaps one more question. >> relating to what you just said, we have a lot of powerful culture institutions in this country and all over the world to do you think we doing enough to raise the consciousness of this subject matter? >> i don't believe we are. how many people in here have ever heard about the monuments men before this? thank you very much for reading "the monuments men."
